T40, but you need T30 for the DI and maybe for a screw that hold a PCV pipe in the way.
Haynes says 11 ft.lb for these. I don't know where you get a T wrench that works that low! You could go by feel, but remember the aluminum threads.
As I posted today on the 9-5BB, these screws go loose ex factory and need to be checked once or twice as the rubber gasket settles. So you will need to do that, moreso if a new gasket. Tighen with a warm engine so that the gasket will compress and move easier. Some are reporting trouble locating the gasket. Don't use RTV as it will squish out and get loose.
If reusing a old rubber gasket, clean it off and put in a pot of water and boil or steam to promote recovery to get a better seal. (Sometimes if the gasket has taken a set and is stiff, getting a seal in not a given.)
